Hi just got my JD today and following build and cal tried a few sit up and stand moves, after several goes smoke from shoulder. Result is servo overheated and locked. Reading back I have seen comment on tight movement and did notice that both shoulders are a lot tighter that other joints. Have now asked shop in uk to send new servo but would like advise on shoulder joints to get my JD dancing again.
What spare parts are you looking for?
There are only a handful of JD's with the shoulder issue - we caught it quick. You're getting a free replacement shoulder servo, wouldn't say that's unlucky
enjoy your JD!
i had same problem ,its an easy fix.i ordered some spare servo's just incase. now i dont have to wait.i fixed mine whit a new metal drill from 14 mm looks and sounds drastic,but you see nothing from using the drill. i drill them by hand whit glove on.also i did bolt just incase. not many or all first molded has this issue,i seen only about 3 inclu myself. i bin here almost a year i think.
Look forward to new servo and will refit with free movement , will see JD dance again.
